Is Suri Cruise too young to wear high heels?

From TODAY Style Editor Bobbie Thomas

As a self-proclaimed shoe addict, I can easily recall my very first pair of heels. I was probably 6 years old, and shocked my mother with my request to be a witch for Halloween. As she was a fan of Hello Kitty, Jem and all things pretty in pink, this would have been the last idea on her list. But when I spied those shiny black plastic pumps peeking out from the bottom of a clear costume bag, I was mesmerized. I could have cared less about candy. Instead, I spent the entire spooky evening walking around the house, in love with the idea of reaching new heights.

This memory flooded back when I saw photos of the endearing little fashion plate that is Suri Cruise. TomKat’s daughter may only be 3, but grown women such as myself already covet her closet. While the world-famous toddler made headlines with her one-of-a-kind pair of custom Roger Vivier flats, she is now stepping into the spotlight a few inches taller. She’s growing before our eyes, but it’s the glittering princess pumps she’s been stepping out in around town (on more than one occasion) that are causing a stir, and raising concerns over whether the footwear choice is innocent or inappropriate.


Parents to medical experts are divided over whether a child in high heels is a fun example of dress-up − or simply encourages a harmful habit, with potentially dangerous long-term health effects on posture and development. Are people are overreacting to a little girl's fashion whim? Or is this, like tweens wearing makeup or carrying cell phones (and, in Suri's case, a Starbucks cup), just another question of how young is too young to act so grown-up?

Of course she is too young! This is ridiculous, and her ankles, which are still in the process of forming, can break if she trips. Teaching a little girl to walk in heels is taking it too far. Let her enjoy her childhood instead of robbing her from the experience. I'd be more understanding if she was 7 or 8 and wearing a SMALL heel, but putting a 3-year-old in high heels is ridiculous, what's next, getting her hair flat-ironed with highlights and putting on makeup?

    Not sure what the point of this article is. It was previously established in the original article with the picture of Suri in the heels that it was a play-dress-up moment and that shortly thereafter, mom Kati changed her into another outfit with "normal" pink tennis shoes. Was this article ment to give false impressions that Suri is always in heels? That Katie is causing harm to her daughter? I believe Ms Thomas is the cause of people overreacting when she fails to point out the facts about Suri wearing heels. Anyone with kids will tell you that kids want to play dress up or act being a grown up as soon as they are coordinated enough to do so. It is a natural part of learning and growing for kids to emulate the people they see. It is one important reason to make sure you child has good role models.

      I agree with Tialala and the others, I'm a mom of girls and I canNOT tell you how much they loved wearing heels, just like mom, when they were younger. In fact I remember when we would take them for baby pics, one of the photographer's poses is with them with a high heel, pearls and a phone... it's just the normal love girls have of playing dress up. The little girl is NOT doing anything wrong nor anything abnormal then most other little girls want to do. And Katie isn't doing anything wrong by letting her wear them out for fun sometimes. I did that also, I can't tell you how many times we went out in July as Tinkerbell or Cinderella or numerous other costumes and dress up clothes. It's NORMAL FOLKS, GET A GRIP! It's called letting the child express themselves and it is NOT dangerous. Until you have proof of all these claims that they are six inch platform heels and Suri wears them every day, etc., etc., find more newsworthy things to write about rather than trying to defame someone else just because they are a celebrity and make a lot more money than you probably ever will. Oh and about the writer of the Starbucks cup, ummm have you ever been?! Because I go to Starbucks A LOT and funny thing, I do NOT drink coffee... hmmm... I wonder if that means they actually have OTHER drinks there besides coffee that everyone, young and old alike can enjoy!? Oh tea, hot chocolate, etc., etc. just to name a few off the top of my head without even looking at the menu but just naming what I usually buy!! Seriously, people. Lets critic every move you made raising your children.... and see who then casts the first stone...

            I have gone to many a coffee shop with my daughter. She gets her "coffee" (hot chocolate, or vanilla steamed milk). It makes her happy to be like mommy. She runs around the house in my heels occasionally and she has three sets of disney dress up heels that she loves. She does not wear them everyday! She just likes them for fun!

              give me a break! it's absolutely to young! what the heck is she thinking doing that to her daughter. her little body and bones haven't fully developed yet which means more risk of injury to hersef. high heels are for teens/grownups, not children! what'll she do next, plastic surgery while she's little?! get with it, mom!

                I'm Sorry, but I think Suri is WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY to young for high heels. Is she going to get breast implants at the age of 5? Will she be posing for playboy at the age of 10? What are Tom and Katie thinking!!!! It is one thing to allow her to walk around in the house playing dress up with those little plastic high heeled shoed, but an actual pair of high heeled shoes to go out in is absolutely DISGUSTING! I have lost all respect for her parents.

                  Little girls age 4 sometimes 3 and up like to dress up in mamas; shoes which are dangerous for them, or people buy walmart plastic shoes for them to dress in. they don't fit their feet and are more apt to cause them to fall.I have even seen them wear them to the store which I think is bad to even wear them in the house because can fall and if a bone gets broken in the joint that s where thy grow . The growth plate. can cause deformity.if they have the money to spend one hundred dollars for a pair of shoes to play in around the house that is their decision. but to wear out or play in the yard where there is more uneven ground is not so good.

                    I think you are definitly overreacting, here. It's not disgusting. It's really rather small issue. It's not like they're abusing her or making her do uncomfortable things. The girl wanted to play dress up, so they let her wear heels. She's not wearing them 24/7, she was only wearing them for a little while. There aren't many baby girls I've known that haven't stumbled around the house in their mother's heels before.

                    Besides, I think buying her an actual pair of high heeled shoes designed to be worn by her feet is much safer than those dinky, plastic dress-up shoes.

                    I agree with Colored Pencils. It's not like they told Suri to smoke. She just wanted to wear high heels for fun, not telling her parents "I want highlights and makeup and a boyfriend" thank you very much Hot-in-Miami. She just wanted to play dress-up. She can't even read, and some people think she had the mental capacity of thinking "Oh, well if I wear high heels now, I can get highlights next. These shoes can be like a mental stepping stone for Playboy" thank you very little cauzimatigger.

                    I think it is absolutely absurd that this is a topic for discussion! I am sure most mothers of daughters would agree. My daughters LOVED to play dress up and wear their princess dresses and dress up shoes anywhere I would let them. It is so healthy and normal. I think from my observations that Katie Holmes does an amazing job with her child and allowing her to express her individuality and her carefree imaginative soul by wearing her dress up shoes is totally normal. It is so obvious these aren't "real" heels- just a fun pair from her dress up collection. Let's stop the unnecessary judgment- which I am sure is far more harmful to Suri Cruise than wearing a pair of dress up shoes could ever be.

                    Precisely....... What is wrong with people and the topics they choose to make issues of. She is being a child. How many other little girls do it, it is totally normal.

                      Exactly. These little kids and their parents don't need to be criticised along the way for every little thing. That alone can be more harmful to their upbringing. People are inconsiderate.

                        A three year old is way too young to be allowed to wear heels. I've read that she doesn't care for wearing coats either, and you never see her photographed in one. Parents: step up and be.... Parents! Continuing this c'est la vie attitude is going to cost you your child. A three year old relies on the parents to make decisions in order to care for them. Let the child pick from 3 pair of shoes that you select- all appropriately flats.... Do your job, or enjoy raising a b r a t.

                          Ok, do you look at every single photograph of this child? What kind of life do you have?? And do you have children? Probably not. Little girls want to wear dress up, and allowing a child out in heels every once in a while is not going to hurt. You probably did the same thing at one point or another. And if a child doesn't want to wear a coat, it's incredibly hard to keep one on them. Was it cold in all of those pictures that she wasn't wearing one? Because normally, if a child is cold, even if she doesn't like wearing coats, she'll put one on to stay warm. I'm sure these parents are doing the best they can... and it is not your job to criticize them. (Especially not with the way your parents raised the b r a t they did.)

                            I agree with cindy, she is just being a little girl it is totally normal to play dress up and want to be like mom... would we be having a big deal if she was a little boy and was playing in dirt? Really grow up people! Katie is doing an amazing job people just need to leave them alone.

                              For play they are OK,but if she is wearing them on a regular basis she is way too young.

                                Yea dress up is one thing but she wears REAL heels to go out...

                                I am 13 and my mom STILL doesnt let me wear big heels... The biggest i do is 1 or 2 inches tops.

                                I know enough to know that heels at a young age could influence the growth... her bones (ankles, feet and spine) could not grow correctly.

                                  how big were these heels anyway? if they were all that "high" she wouldn't have been able to walk in them. i think not letting your child express themselves through play once in a while is abuse. and besides its not like kat has the shoes stapled to her daughters feet. we dont live with them so we cant say she ALWAYS wears them out. i have 3 daughters 6, 3 and 1. my 6, and 3 year old love to dress up. and sometimes i let the wear their dress up clothes out on an errand (as long as its appropriate). it makes them feel special like everyone is paying attention to them and every little girl needs to feeling sometimes.

                                      GIVE HER A BREAK!! If Suri wants to wear high heels, then let her. Let her enjoy her childhood--EXACTLY!! Soon after my daughter learned to walk, she had a pair of high heels she got in a dress-up kit. She wore those heels all the time. I'm sure Suri's parents know the "dangers" of extended wear. Who knows? And who are you to judge?? If they were not "famous", no one would say a word. People need to get a life and stay out of others!!

                                      1st of all...WHO CARES!!! 2nd...all girly tots love to dress up and that means heels as well. There are Cinderella heels on every toy shelf in America and they can be dangerous on hard flooring. No one gives a flip about those. Lets find something a little more important to converse about. Darn, how long did I waste on this comment?

                                        I don't think we're going to have to worry about Katie signing Suri up for "Toddlers and Tiara's". TRAIN WRECK REALITY TV at it's finest. Kids are cute and adorable (for the most part) without any make up, gowns, heels , hose, tanning beds etc. Giving a child a false sense of acceptance because she "looks so beautiful" and then a big trophy for being prettier than all the rest, is a lot for a 2 yr to 12 yr old chilld to understand.

                                        Everyone's moral compass is spinning on this question. There is no right or wrong answer. Parenting is all about choices. When you make the wrong choice, you learn from it. When or if you have another child, you'll be armed with experience, and you'll apply what you've learned from the past.

                                        I think most people share their opinion, aka pass judgment,. without giving it a second thought. I think we all can see what wonderful parents Katie and Tom are.

                                        THEY ARE JUST SHOES!! Now.. If she were to wear platform shoes or stilettos.. That'd be a bit much. But those heels are very low to the ground and thick. I think they're adorable. And who is the world has said that she wars them 24/7? She doesn't. Her feet will be perfectly fine. Get over yourselves. :)

                                        Those are cute shoes with a short heel. I wouldn't call them 'high' heels. I've seen little girls in cowboy boots with higher heels to them.

                                        I haven't seen much public outcry about the ultra small low-cut thong underwear that I've seen in the malls. Under a size 00 and obviously made for children. Or parents walking next to their little girls (under the age of 12) and letting them wear shorts so short that their bottoms hang out the back. Could you write a story about that please?

                                        I believe your on to something! Lets get a little more concerned about the way the parents are ALLOWING their children to dress! Do you ever wonder why petifiles are the way they are????? b/c mom said ok susie you can wear those short, short, shorts out no biggie! Next thing you know there is a real problem!!!! Let get concerned about that people not about a three year old wearing what barely qualifies as a "heel"!

                                          The heels weren't that big and it was dress up for god sakes...give the girl a break and let her play. Honestly don't see what the big deal was, just people trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill (more like a small little ant hill) Had she been wearing serious heals and prancing around for days in them, then lets talk.

                                            Thank you to the ladies who said GET A LIFE!!! 1st of all Suri is a GIRL!!! If she is like most girls she loves dress up. Who cares that she is wearing high heels. They are cute, she is not wearing them all day, and if she falls then she may not want to wear them anymore! Hello! Both of my girls started raiding my shoes when they were 3 and still do!!! They are 4 and 6 now! Lighten up.....

                                              Slow day for "style" reporting Bobbie? The millions of mothers out there can envision the scenario in their minds...Suri wanted to wear her dress up shoes while out with her Mom. Her Mom caved and let her do it once and now she can't get her out the door without them. My son wore cowboy boots for 6 months straight - with shorts! Find something more meaningful to report on and let Suri Cruise be who she is without judgement - simply another little girl playing dress up.

                                                I am NOT a shoe lover which made me all the more shocked as my then 3 year old daughter was all about fashion and Shoes....heels...mostly the chunky heels as they were easier to walk in...she would just love to wear heels....I have NO clue where she got it from...also she loved dresses and her hair always braided or with a bun...again totally opposite of me(I have had the same hair style for 30+ years and wear jeans,sweats,tshirts,and sneakers). However she is now a preteen and her dressing style is much different.

                                                  Maybe you need an update, mommy dearest. Why do you wear jeans and sweatshirts with tshirts and sneakers, mixing and matching is nice if you throw is some flair. But frumpy is not cool.

                                                    Oh lord, she's wearing heels, boo hoo hoo. Hey, before you start judging them, go raid your childrens closet. If the skirt comes above their thighs and shows their panties when they sit, then maybe you need to reflect on yourself, huh? Or if they are 14- and wearing thongs? How about the see through shirts with colored bras? Get with the program. Seriously, she's THREE and wearing dress up heels. Here I was thinking we could get pass all the middle school drama. Leave the poor kid alone. You gonna gripe about her when you see her in a cute little bunny suit? 'Oh no, her parents let her wear that furry bunny outfit, what's next a playboy bunny suit?' Sheesh.
                                                    I guess since it's such a sin for "heels", we better not buy any Disney princess costumes for our children, we might be thought of as bad parents!

                                                            She just being a little girl. I'm sure a large portion of mom's out there have bought their daughters those cute plastic heels with one of the various princess' faces glued to the front. It's not hurting anyone, she's just being the three year old she is, and because she happens to have famous parents it's become this big publicity stunt. It's their child, and as far as anyone else should be concerened, it's their decision, so leave it be, it's no one else's buisness.
